SC Dnipro-1


SC Dnipro 1 is a professional Ukrainian football team from Dnipro. The club is competing in the 2019–20 Ukrainian Premier League, having been promoted from the First League.

History

The club owners are Maksym Bereza and Hennadiy Polonskyi. The club adopted an emblem similar to the Police Special Patrol Detachment Dnipro-1 that used to be led by Yuriy Bereza which represents the Lisovskyi tryzub.
The Professional Football League of Ukraine reviewed the matter of admitting the club SC Dnipro-1 on 21 June 2017. The club had not been participating in championship among amateurs which is required by regulation. Nonetheless, the delegates to conference 25 voted to admit the club to PFL. Out of fairness, the recently revived NK Veres Rivne participating in the 2017–18 Ukrainian Premier League also did not participate in amateur competition before being readmitted to professionals. Before voting on the issue the club's honorary president Yuriy Bereza gave a speech stating that the club has own sports school with 300 younger athletes, has agreements with stadiums Meteor and Dnipro, also claimed that the closest assistant of Bereza is Ukrainian international footballer Roman Zozulya who supposedly was a main initiator in creation of the club. Bereza also assured the audience that the club has a support of the Dnipro-1 Regiment, local ultras, and the city's community in general. Some Ukrainian news media announced that the club is a successor of FC Dnipro.
On 6 July 2017, it was announced that SC Dnipro-1 would also adopt the FC Dnipro football school. The same day SC Dnipro-1 announced its squad for the upcoming 2017–18 Ukrainian Second League season, having a number of well known footballers in Ukraine such as Yevhen Cheberyachko, Serhiy Kravchenko and many others.
Its first official game the club played on 9 July 2017 hosting FC Bukovyna Chernivtsi as part of the 2017–18 Ukrainian Cup. Its first official league game the club played next week on 15 July 2017 hosting FC Metalist 1925 Kharkiv as part of the 2017–18 Ukrainian Second League. That season Dnipro-1 became the second club in history of the Ukrainian Cup that reached semifinals while competing at the third tier and also earned promotion by placing the first place in its group.
